Carob and Hazelnut Praline Tarts

I can leave or take chocolate, however my family can attest to my devotion and non-stop eating of Ferrero Rocher and Raffaelo chocolates. In fact I can easily devour a box completely on my own and in one sitting.

Although the Ferrero chocolates are a definite no-no during my 60-Day Clean Eating Challenge these Carob and Hazelnut Praline Tarts come surprisingly close to the real thing.

I made the filling first and almost didnít bother making the base - I was content just to eat the filling on its own - itís that delicious.

Itís quite mind boggling to think that something that tastes so good can actually have health benefits as well.

Admittedly I did substitute sugar and chocolate with medjool dates, carob and rice malt syrup and added a wonderful array of nuts and avocado to make the praline filling.

This healthier version will make you quiver at the knees.

These Carob and Hazelnut Praline Tarts come surprisingly close to tasting like Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
